Yes, it is good. And I'm qualified to bake in a bunch of institutions, all over the world. But I don't make bread much.
And never simple white bread.
Sourdough only, or at least pre-ferment, some token rye.
But it IS good. And I have creme fraise in the box, along with a little bit of seasoned goat cheese.
No! covers a lot of answers around here right now.
I may sneak some chevre on crackers with roasted garlic later..... ;)

anyone, did they develop an inhalant for treatment of diabetes. If so, what happened?
The Fox News website has a link to a video from Shepard Smith's program on Wed., where he discusses the story with a doctor, who quotes the price of $3500 for the kind of water purifier you'd need for your house to be safe.
FWIW :
Welcome Home...
That's a symptom of diabetes called polydipsia. How well is your blood sugar controlled?
I prefer my Arsenic with “Elderberry Wine” thank you...
It's fairly safe used topically, if you are near New Orleans. And it does get rid of the creepy crawlies.
Your mileage may vary.
I am not a government scientist.

Thanks for posting and thanks to every poster on this thread sharing personal experiences/information/links.
Health/life BUMP!

Waitasec. Just today I was reading how Type 1 diabetes may actually be an evolutionary adaptation for cold weather:
http://cat.inist.fr/?aModele=afficheN&cpsidt=16791319
That is, the higher blood levels of some of the chemicals associated with diabetes act like antifreeze.
Importantly, for every white American, 1.6 black Americans suffers from diabetes. The actual figures for black Americans may be even higher, because there is a serious shortfall in diabetes diagnosis for black Americans:
http://www.blackhealthcare.com/BHC/Diabetes/Description.asp
But that sort of goes against the “antifreeze” theory.
And here’s another twist: Geologically, North America is a young continent. Its topsoil is full of salts and metals. Europe is also young, and so people with European origins living in America tend to be far less sensitive to salts and metals.
However, geologically Africa is a very old continent, and most of the salts and metals have been leached out of its topsoil. For this reason, people with African ancestry are much more sensitive to salts and metals and their effects.
For example, it is known both that black children are more susceptible to injury from the intake of metallic lead than non black children, though it is generally bad for all. Black Americans also have a much higher rate of high blood pressure, likely associated with a lower tolerance for salts.
However, across the US, with its high amounts of salts and metals, the *types* of salts and metal varies considerably. In some areas, water wells cannot be drilled because of sky high arsenic in the ground water. Other places have very little indeed. But this is not limited to arsenic. It is true also of lead, cadmium (which is very toxic), mercury, uranium, chromium, thallium, antimony, copper, nickel, and selenium.
Right now, an entire city in Oklahoma has been condemned because it used to host a lead mine. People don’t have to leave, but nobody new is allowed to move in.
Arsenic Levels in Water: A Clinton Trap

I would need a cite for that, because I don't believe it. The more you turn over a soil, the more crap you turn up. That's observation over the years.

Arsenic is found in magmatic rocks and leach out naturally.
You can get filters for it. No big deal.
However, arsenic would explain why so many Democrats are brain-damaged.
Leenie, what a great story you have!
Good on you (and keep the "mo").
I have a $itch that goes on 50% off twice a year and her name is Godiva.
We are talking some serious years here.
North America was formed during the Phanerozoic Era, within 545 million years ago. We are still in that era.
Africa was formed during the Neoproterozoic Era 542-1000+ million years. It didn’t stop forming until we had just begun forming.
And there are limits to how much “stuff” you can turn up in topsoil before the topsoil is gone, washed or blown away, and new topsoil is formed. Salts and metals may exist down deep, but the substantial quantities concentrated near the surface are gone.

FReepmail me if you want on or off my health and science ping list.
Before getting diabetes, my thirst was insatiable. Always was and everyone always asked if I was checked for diabetes. During routine physicals, the blood sugar was always perfect.
Then, even though I do not take any meds for it and have only made slight modifications to my diet, my thirst is dramatically less.
This seems to be the opposite of what you just cited. Strange disease, huh?

I'm reminded of that myth about how the fall of Rome could be attributed to lead pipes. Thanks neverdem. |
